浙江省台州市玉环市2023-2024学年八年级上学期期末英语试题
Many people dream of going on a great travel. Most of us keep dreaming; others make it happen.
Gregg Bleakney's dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom (底部). He got the idea after he finished a 1,600-kilometer bike ride. Gregg's friend Brooks Allen was also a cyclist. The two friends talked and made a plan: They would travel from Alaska (阿拉斯加) to Argentina (阿根廷) by bike.
To pay for the trip, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. In 2005, after four years of planning, they set off. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in hostels (青年旅社). In many places, local (当地的) people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.
In May 2007-two years, 12 countries, and over 30,500 km later-Gregg finally reached Argentina, at the southern tip of South America. Halfway through the trip, Brooks had to stop. He returned to the United States and Gregg continued (继续) without him.
Gregg and Brooks kept a record (记录) of their travel in an online blog. The trip taught both men a lot about traveling. Here is some of Gregg's advice.
. The fewer bags you have, the less you'll worry about.
. Don't plan everything. You'll be more relaxed and happy.
. Be polite (礼貌的). Nobody wants to fight with a nice guy.
